The new darling of the Farcaster community, is Noice the next Degen?

The Farcaster protocol has reached a recent high point of organic growth, with frequent actions in recent days. In addition to announcing the upcoming launch of a Pro protocol paid subscription, as the application is about to be renamed Farcaster, the wallet and Mini App have also officially integrated with Solana. Behind the growth, BlockBeats discovered that the exploration of content tipping and creator incentives on the Farcaster protocol has entered a new stage. The image below is a screenshot of the in-app wallet shared by Farcaster protocol co-creator Dan, showing multiple small transfers received through noice and Tipn, both of which are popular creator tipping tools in the Farcaster ecosystem recently. One Cent per Like Noice is a Mini App built into the Farcaster client, combining product forms from Degen, time.fun, Frien.Tech, and other previously validated social products, mainly including the following mechanisms: First is the tipping mechanism, where every interaction on the user's timeline (such as liking, retweeting, commenting) can be accompanied by a tip, currently using USDC, with plans to support tipping with any token in the future. Additionally, any user can request specific forms of interaction from other users, including likes, comments, retweets, follows, private messages, group chats, and even one-on-one calls. Noice also has a daily incentive section, where the user with the highest daily tipping amount will receive an additional 100 USDC incentive, encouraging more user interaction and "more tips, more rewards". To use Noice, users only need to search for Noice in the Farcaster Mini Apps market, then set their Tip amount, such as the image below showing that users will tip the poster 0.01 USDC for actions like liking, reposting, or commenting. Simultaneously, the Noice team launched the Noice platform token $NOICE on Clanker on May 22, with 30% of the token supply locked for 1 month, including 20% for airdrop and 10% held by the core team. At the time of writing, $NOICE's market cap reached $9.11 million, with a 24-hour increase of 93%. The Noice website indicates that $NOICE will conduct an airdrop in one month, with specific details yet to be announced, but the total airdrop amount will increase based on real-time network user usage, currently totaling $1.8 million. Dominating the "Base Billboard" Noice, launched just two days ago, has had its founders repeatedly win auctions for the QR code entry on qrcoin.fun, a QR code display platform in the Base ecosystem. Previously supported by an official Base retweet, Noice's market performance has also caused the platform token $QR to rise. According to the official website, Noice will next launch a Creator Tokens module, allowing creators to issue their own tokens. For example, user @tike can create a personal token called $tk, which can be used when tipping others. Additionally, when anyone requests a like, call, follow, or comment from @tike, the token will be burned. In its integration plan with Zora, holding a creator's token (such as $jesse) can earn 1% equity in their future content token, and also receive transaction fee income from these tokens. Noice also plans to introduce tipping and access mechanisms to X, allowing users to tip or purchase interaction rights directly on the timeline without switching apps, enabling smooth capital flow. Finally, Noice will integrate with Solana, supporting users in tipping with any token from the Solana ecosystem on X, and allowing Creator Tokens to be deployed simultaneously on both Base and Solana to expand applicability and liquidity. Noice's mechanism easily reminds people of DEGEN, the earliest social tipping token in the Farcaster ecosystem. However, due to changes in the crypto market environment, the Farcaster ecosystem's understanding of "social assets" has changed significantly. DEGEN was more of a projection of community sentiment and a humorous value consensus, while $NOICE attempts to introduce a more direct economic incentive structure, explicitly linking interaction behaviors with capital flow. To some extent, it represents a shift from a "cultural symbol" to a "functional asset". Compared to DEGEN's emotion-driven approach, whether $NOICE can forge a more sustainable path depends on whether it can truly establish high-frequency interaction scenarios and long-term demand beyond its incentive model. Today coincides with the global largest "read it later" tool Pocket announcing service suspension. In the past, we always saved interesting content, hoping that a "future self" would have time to read it. However, the reality is that most saved links are never actually opened. We don't lack time, but lack the attention to truly focus. The Farcaster Tip tool seems to offer a new empowerment answer. Recently, with the controversy surrounding the Zora airdrop, the Base ecosystem hasn't had many hot topics. However, due to the continuous activity of the Farcaster ecosystem's Mini Apps, readers focusing on the Base ecosystem can pay more attention to Farcaster to find Alpha opportunities. Although Noice has currently sparked widespread attention in the Farcaster community and shown some user growth potential, it needs to be noted that the project is still in its early stages, with token models, governance mechanisms, and long-term application scenarios not yet fully implemented. The $NOICE token currently mainly relies on short-term activity driven by airdrop expectations. BlockBeats reminds readers to fully assess their own risk tolerance and be wary of structural fluctuations behind project hype before participating in related interactions or purchasing tokens.
